The Intellectual Property Wage Slave, or Why You Should Quit Your Job

Sat, May 21st 2005 00:00
A study of the productivity of software programmers shows the most
talented coders to be over 100 times more efficient than the meanest. It
is clear, however, that there is nowhere near a commensurate increase in
pay.

interface with 100% of the original functionality. The interfaces also
provide additional features, such as a source code window, shortcut keys,
visual setting of breakpoints, regex searching capabilities, and more.
Changes: Besides some autoconf/automake updates, this release fixes a
major bug in CGDB that appeared on most OSes besides Linux where CGDB
would hang on startup while trying to read input from stdin.

[005] - CRM114 Discriminator 20050518
by Crah the Merciless (http://freshmeat.net/users/wsymerlcom/)
Sat, May 21st 2005 08:35
Communications :: Email
System :: Logging
System :: Monitoring
About: CRM114 is a Controllable Regex Mutilator and Smart Filter, designed
for easy creation of filters for things like incoming email redirection,
spam filtering, system logs, or monitoring processes. Filtering rules can
be either hard-coded (such as regexes), soft-coded (calculated at runtime
or read from an external file or process), or learned dynamically by
phrase matching (by SBPH hashing or Markovian matching, or Winnowing).
This makes it possible to create very accurate filters with very little
actual work. Accuracies over 99.9% are achievable.
Changes: This is a documentation release; a draft PDF of the book CRM114
Revealed (.pdf.gz, 240 pages) is now available for download. BlameMercury
has lots of bugfixes and only three extensions. You can now demonize
minions onto pipes, re-execute failing commands from a TRAP finish, and
use a regex directly as a var-restriction subscripting action, so [
:my_var: /abc.*xyz/ ] gets you the matching substring in :my_var:.
Var-restriction matches do not change the "previous MATCH" data on a
variable.

About: GvTags is a Groovy tag library. It allows writing Web applications
with Java ServerPages (JSP) in Groovy. It might be for the Groovy
programming language what the combination of JSTL and Struts is for Java.
You can use Groovy objects in a JSP as beans. It is possible to embed
Groovy code in a JSP. It also includes logic tags that use Groovy as their
expression language. It uses the GroovyScriptEngine, which ensures
automatic recompilation of Groovy code in GvTags pages and of external
Groovy classes. It caches compiled Groovy classes and makes execution
quite fast.
Changes: GvTags now has more the twenty tags. This makes it complete
enough to write most Web applications. New tags include elsif, switch,
case, default, import, and actionbean. GvTags comes with a set of
extensive examples, which show how to build Web applications in Groovy.
New examples include an address database and a memory monitor.
Improvements were made in the groovy scriptlet engine.

different so-called parser functions to different portions of the text that
is to be parsed.
Changes: Support for specifying multiple "usecontent?" parameters was
added. A small bug in paragraph handling was fixed. This bug caused two
directly adjacent inline elements to be separated by a paragraph.

and developers are encouraged to help with creating plugins and clients. At
this point, there are no mature and stable GUI clients, but this preview is
released in the hope that the development of interfaces will accelerate.
